Have you heard the news
   That is going round
   He should know better
  
   Have you heard the news
   That boy's got dust for brains
  
   After all this time
   After all this time
   Now things, oh, can never be the same
  
   He should know better
   Always straight, always cool
   Endless style, nobody's fool
   And always with the grace and superb manner
  
   How he danced around the snakes
   Left them spinning in his way
   And stepped straight on the yellow skin banana
  
   He should know better
  
   In the early hours of day
   The black night
   He makes his way
   Regretfully into the morning fog
  
   Just one silly small mistake
   Now all his bones their gonna break
   To the curse and laughing smile
   Of the little green frog
  
   He should know better
